Devil Summoner 2 announced for US

Atlus U.S.A. today announced that Shin Megami Tensei®: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon, a new chapter in the stunningly original action RPG series for PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, is making its way to North America on May 12th. Improved over its predecessor in every way, Devil Summoner 2 is an action RPG breath of fresh air, with a deep, easy-to-control combat system, nearly two hundred demons to negotiate with, collect, and fuse, and a variety of strategies to employ and master. Experience a 1920's Tokyo bustling with cases to solve, criminals to bring to justice, and the threat of the mysterious King Abaddon looming on the horizon.

Each and every launch copy of Devil Summoner 2 will feature a rare Raiho plushie doll (not available for sale separately). Only a small amount of these rare bundles will be assembled, and each package will be numbered to ensure its rarity and collectible value.

ATTENTION: CALLING ALL PERSONA 3 AND 4 FANS... THIS IS YET ANOTHER GAME IN THE SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI SERIES. SO IF YOU WANT ANOTHER GAME WITH SIMILAR THEMES, THIS IS IT. DEVIL SUMMONER IS AN ACTION RPG THAT BRINGS BACK THE CONTRACT SYSTEM USED TO ENLIST DEMONS INTO YOUR PARTY. DO NOT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY!

MINE!!! Gimme that plushie! Going to preorder mine as soon as possible. Anybody who's been with the SMT series for long knows these vanish within days of retail, and end up all over Ebay for boat loads of money. I'm not going to make the same mistake again when I chose to wait on Digital Devil Saga. Ugh, I can't believe I made such a horrible decision.

Anyways, never played the first one. So this should be pretty fun. I've heard the game is pretty damn good. Well, from those who played the Japanese version. I can't believe I'm this excited, and there's still four months to go. :D
